Senior Counsel Lauren Valiente was interviewed in a Bay News 9 segment discussing business opportunities for entrepreneurs in Cuba. Valiente was quoted saying, “Restaurants are one of the approved private businesses. Computer programmers are also on the list of approved private businesses.

Valiente said that before entering into business with Cuba, business owners must be aware of the law in both countries. She was quoted saying, “The first question is; am I legally allowed to do what I want to do under both U.S. law and Cuban law.”
